(Closed) Open seating with escort cards?

We are having open seating at our reception but I was thinking about having escort cards for people to place at the seat they choose to reserve that seat. I don’t know how that will look or whether it is worth the work to make them. What do you think?

@Statutory Grape: Not really. The only table that was going to be assigned is the head table. All others are open to whoever wants to sit wherever but I was thinking about having the escort cards there so that when somebody did decide on where to sit they could reserve that seat at that table.

Personally, I think it might confuse your guests…Normally, when escort cards are used without place cards (escort cards tell you which table, place cards tell you which seat at the table–most brides omit the place cards) people pretty much establish which seats are taken by putting jackets on the chair, purses on the charger, etc. etc. People will do this automatically once they realize it’s open seating. I’m not sure you need them.
